Twinkling Stretton
Stretton Parish Council initiated
the planting of two Christmas Trees and since 2009, have held Twinkling Stretton events in both Stretton and Lower Stretton, including turning on of the lights, carols around the tree and refreshments
The event reported reducing
numbers year on year pre-covid
but re-introduced it for 2023 on a smaller scale to gauge interest. Should residents wish this event to return in full please get in touch with the Clerk
The condition of the tree at
